Shangguan Qing nervously looked at Princess Xinyang, as if waiting for her verdict.
Upon hearing this, Princess Xinyang’s emotions calmed down.
She looked at Shangguan Qing and said bitterly, "Actually, even if she hadn’t ’taken’ the antidote, you wouldn’t have survived. The former emperor was wary of your father, and my marriage to him was merely a political bargaining chip. My Dragon Shadow Guard was always ready to kill him, and to prevent me from softening due to offspring, the Dragon Shadow Guard... would kill me and his child. If they failed once, they would try a second time, until... I completely lost you."
"I have also deeply hurt Ahen. You two are both innocent. If I must blame someone, first, I’d blame my father, then I’d blame being born into the Royal Family, and lastly, I’d blame myself... for not protecting you."
It’s not you, but you all.
To her two sons, she felt deep guilt.
After knowing the false truth that "Shangguan Yun was her child’s murderer," did she not also vent her anger on the innocent Xiao Hen?
What right did she have to blame Shangguan Yun?
Xiao Hen gently held her hand.
The death of the young marquis in the New Year’s Eve fire was already in the past.
The knots in his heart had been untied.
He was not a child abandoned by his mother.
In the final moments, his mother protected him with her life.
Princess Xinyang choked back a smile, "I am very grateful that she raised you. If it weren’t for her, I might have already lost you."
Shangguan Qing felt much more relaxed, he smiled and said, "Mother also said, she is very thankful you raised my younger brother, because if the true crown prince returned to Yan Country, it would have been difficult for him to grow up safely."
Fate is a mysterious thing, but do good deeds, regardless of the future.
"Mother?" Princess Xinyang was slightly taken aback.
Shangguan Qing awkwardly touched his nose, "That’s my mother."
Princess Xinyang pondered the title and could feel the harmonious and natural mother-son relationship between Shangguan Yun and Qingqing.
Xiao Hen said, "Since it’s like this, let’s not bring up the past anymore."
Princess Xinyang nodded.
Even though she had taken the Contraceptive Soup!
How did she still get pregnant?
The annoying thing was that she only realized it after three months!
If she had known, she would have drunk a few more bowls of Contraceptive Soup back then!
Perhaps feeling her mother’s lack of welcome, the little one in her belly turned over aggrievedly and kicked a few times, leaving little footprints on the mother’s belly.
Princess Xinyang held her belly and gasped.
This child was really restless.
When Qingqing was in the womb, he was quite well-behaved.
Xiao Hen solemnly nodded, "It seems it’s my father’s."
Besides my father, I can’t think of any other man who could make you grit your teeth so much.
